The Court of Chancery spends a lot of time deciding cases that involve multi-billion-dollar deals. Its equity jurisdiction means it also gets to decide things like who should keep Tucker the Goldendoodle (don't worry, he's not getting cut in half) courts.delaware.gov/Opinions/Dow...

This makes sense as Delaware is notoriously a state that doesn't have any practicing lawyers and doesn't ever have lawyers from other states file briefs in any of its courts

My latest for Litigation Daily: some thoughts on how Texas and Delaware compare in the relationship between their business courts and legislatures.

To Litigate or Legislate? The Texas Approach to Building Corporate Law | Law.com
In an interplay that mirrors the current goings-on in Delaware, questions remain about how much say Texas legislators should have in shaping business law, and how much should be left to the courts.

A restaurant in the English county of Cheshire has launched a water menu, as have a number of US establishments. Is it really possible, though, to tell one terroir from another?

It's been a few weeks since Gov. Meyer signed SB 21. So far, lawyers say their talks comparing DE, TX and NV for incorporation haven't changed.
law.com
'Conversations Are Happening:' Clients Haven't Stopped Asking Their Attorneys Whether Delaware Is Their Best Option for Incorporation
While SB 21 progressed through the Delaware legislature, Texas Senate Bill 29, which proposes changes to the Business Organization Code, has been working its way through that state's legislature. If passed, that bill would codify the business judgment rule, which presumes corporate leadership acts in good faith to make informed decisions in a company's best interests.

West Philly resident here—the trolleys and bus routes that go to/from Center City are already overcrowded and unreliable, and the L isn't much better. Cutting way back on routes and cutting most services entirely after 9 p.m. is going to be a nightmarish commuting experience at best.
